Stock Up on Bras

Addition-Elle has their bras on sale — buy one get second 50% off from now until February 16th. They offer pretty bras in sizes 38C to 44DDD.

My favorite style is the contour bra which is much like the Lane Bryant Balconette. There are quite a few online designs (look at the swatches once you click on the blue bra). If you have a walk-in store near you be sure to check out the designs they have.

I especially like the polka dot and plaid patterns of these contour bras. Their bras are not cheap — $49.99. In my opinion about ten bucks more than they should be but with the sale they work out to about $38 each.

If I could pick a feminine gift for myself that involved lingerie these two romantic pieces from La Grande Dame would be on my list. They are pretty and wearable on a regular day. Both pieces were designed by Betsey Johnson and just happen to be on sale – both are under $60.

Sweet Things at Addition-Elle

One of my favorite places in Canada for plus size lingerie and sexy bras is Addition-Elle. Unfortunately, the website is not a great spot to find anything titillating so I recommend visiting one of their walk-in stores in your location if you can.

Of the bras featured on the website I would put this new Femme Fatale at the top of my list. It is available in the crimson red shown below as well as cherry, cyan, pansy purple, purple mist, and ultra marine. The sizes range from 38C to 44D. It’s tagged at a hefty price of $49.99 but as of this post the A/E website has their bras on sale for buy one get one 40% off.

Chocolates and Roses

This week I’m seeing red. No I’m not angry. It’s less than twenty days until Valentine’s Day. And whether you are single or attached it’s a good excuse for something red and sexy (and not necessarily lingerie). All this week my picks will have Valentine’s in mind.

Plus Size Tight (and Leggings)

One of the best places I’ve found for plus size tights is We Love Colors. The company is located in Florida but they ship world wide. I had the opportunity to test drive a few pairs this fall thanks to their PR people. We-Love-Colors-Opaque-Tights

We Love Colors has the usual black, brown, white and beige tights but they also have over 50 shocking colors to suit your every mood and fashion impulse. The colors maintain their vividness after several washes and while they stretched out a bit by the end of the day (they weren’t drooping) they returned to their shrunken shape after washing. They are soft to the touch (seriously, I keep stroking my legs when I wear them). Their tights come in sizes A/B to EE which fit 160 lbs to 375 lbs.

It amazes me what a hot item tights are this fall. I like it when they are worn in a monochromatic fashion — all black or red from head to toe for example.

If you haven’t liked the fit of what has been available to you I highly recommend trying We Love Color’s tights. But do use your imagination and step outside the traditional color scheme you are used to. Every woman should have at least one pair of wild tights!

Stock Up on Bras

From now until December 15th Penningtons is offering Buy One Get One 50% on all their bras both online and in store. Penningtons carries the dull granny bras and the pretty fashion bras. Prices are generally hefty at $49.99 but with the discount it is about $30 per bra.

My favorites are the underwire bras specifically the Bandeau. They are usually more fashionable and they give an appealing shape under t-shirts and sweaters. Everyone should have the basic colors: white, nude, black, and red. And of course something fun like this zebra print.

Penningtons bras range in size from 38D to 50G. Not all bras are in all sizes and unfortunately it’s the extended sizes that are generally the plainer bras.

Sleepwear Separates

Right now, Addition-Elle (AE) has their sleepwear separates on for $19.99 each (if you buy two pieces). This will run until December 15 but you know how quickly your favorite pieces will disappear. As of yesterday AE has also instituted free returns for Canadians! Be sure to read their online policy for specifics.

Surprisingly one of the hardest things I find to shop for is sleepwear. Addition-Elle does seem to be my one stop shop for sleepwear the last few years (Penningtons adult sleepwear tends to be more cutesy). I don’t like my stuff overly baggy and I like to alternate between camisole style shirts in the summer and two pieces in the winter. With Canadian weather in Eastern Ontario I never know what to expect so I never pack my seasonal sleepwear away like I do with my day clothes when the seasons change.

One my favorites at AE’s online store is the Henley PJ Top and the Plaid Flannel Bottoms. Basic sleepwear pieces every woman should have. They also make great loungewear when I’m at the computer. Being a pear shape, the separates are right up my alley as I can get two different sizes. Both the tops and bottoms are available in sizes X to 4 and as mentioned are on 2 for $39.98.

Sleep tight!
